now if i have a mem card in it and turn it off, it turns back on in a few minutes, and says its going to sleep. it wont let me do anything but hit the reset button. if i leave it on for a while it automatically resets, but goes trough the same thing again.

it does not do this without a memory card in it.

the only way to stop this is to press the reset button. anyone know anything about this problem? its a real PITA..

the thing is, despite my best efforts, my computer can't find anything wrong with it. i have formatted it several times attempting to figure it out..

The problem is that Ebk1150 uses a low-level formatting for the card; there are some older cameras that can do that formatting, but regular Windows formatting will not work. It's a very tricky issue, and I have not succeeded in solving it (tried some low-level formatter software on the net but it still did not work, and I did not have the time and patience to do it at the binary level with an editor, though there are some guides out there). Ultimately I just bit the bullet and forgot about using that card with Ebk1150.

There is a guy on eBay that can generally fix these cards. He charges about $6 I believe to do it. It is related to things called smprep and smformat which adds some low level stuff to the card.
